How the World’s Longest Cross-Strait Road-Rail Bridge Was Built
Witness the engineering marvel of the Pingtan Strait Road-Rail Bridge—a monumental infrastructure project in China that is redefining modern bridge construction. Spanning over 16 kilometers across the treacherous waters of the Pingtan Strait, this dual-use bridge carries both high-speed rail and road traffic, making it the longest cross-strait road-rail bridge in the world.
In this animated visualization, we take you step-by-step through the entire construction process—from laying the foundation pillars deep beneath the sea to erecting towering cable-stayed piers and assembling the massive steel deck. Watch as a simple stone pier transforms into a sleek, futuristic bridge capable of supporting trains and vehicles alike.
This isn't just a bridge—it's a feat of innovation, precision, and ambition. Designed to withstand strong typhoons, high waves, and complex marine conditions, the Pingtan Bridge showcases China’s leadership in civil engineering and infrastructure development.
Explore how advanced technologies, modular construction techniques, and environmental planning come together to create one of the most impressive transportation links of the 21st century.
